  I agree with this research question, just not sure how detailed or broad it should be. Thanks Jeanne!

  This is a clear and well formulated question. When you have devised the methodology, revisit the question to check if it needs to be revised.

  The question is well articulated and requires a strong methodology and good data to be able to establish possible correlation. I suggest you develop your methodology and then revisit the question.

  Thanks April.
  Do we want to ask if the CRA method increases student achievement, or just stick with impact?
  For example:

    That sounds good! I couldn’t remember exactly what we settled on in class.

    As I understand your current question you plan to collect data in both your classrooms and write one report?
    CRA teaching strategy sounds better to me than CRA method. And I like achievement better than impact if you plan a quantitative methodology. If you used a mixed methodology, impact may be better.

  I’m already making a small change to my question.

    I understand that your first version focuses on curriculum. I am not sure what talent development means?
    
    Please clarify what you’d like to be your focus – and we can work from there.

Will having students with autism participate in 10-minute yoga sessions at the beginning of each school day be effective in reducing rates of problem behavior at school?

  Your area of focus is clear, though I think the way the question is articulated is awkward. Maybe something like
  Does participation in 10-minute daily yoga sessions reduce rates of problem behavior at school for students with autism?
